Buggin' Out! A Cicada Farewell Party

Marianne Ways, Neighbor

Featuring
The Found Footage Festival, Ted Travelstead, Adam Wade, Michael
Kupperman, Emily Flake, Josh Gondelman, Radiolab Producers, an
Entomologist and more!


People in New York are notoriously flaky about making plans. None more
so than the cicadas—those chirpy flying roach-type things that replied
to our city's collective Facebook invite 17 years ago, promising to
burst out of the ground this spring like a crunchy blanket of terror. We
expected a buggy apocalypse; we got little more than a few flaccid news
headlines. Well, some of us already bought our cicada costumes, so
we're throwing the pests a party anyway. Join us for a farewell bash
that will be one part scientific presentations about the insects that
stood us up, and one part cicada-inspired comedy by New York's funniest
performers. Plus, stick around after the show for a free screening of
1954's classic sci-fi film, THEM!
